Does the shape of your nail matter? Today, there are many ways to dress up the look of nails.
Of course, nail polish and acrylics are a common way to do that. However, the actual shape of the nail can also be a way to show a unique look or create an interesting expression. In fact, before you put any color or glamor on your nails, consider the shape of it first. One of the more popular options seen today is the oval nail. As its name implies, these nails are shaped to be an oval.

What does the oval nail look like? Generally, this shape of nail will have a rounded tip. The tip of the nail should look like a semi circle. Most of the time, the length is less important, but having a length of about a three millimeter edge is ideal. Of course, it can be longer than this if desired.

Oval nails can be shaped like this with a bit of practice and the right nail file. It takes a bit of time to perfect, especially ensuring the angle of the nail is the same on all of the fingertips.
They should be overall uniform.

Once the nail is in the oval shape, there are plenty of ways to add color to it. This look, though, tends to favor the addition of feminine pastel colors. You can incorporate more dominate and bright colors, if you like. However, the soft edges of this type of nail make the use of soft pinks, purples, and even a light blue ideal. It is possible to use ombre colors here as well,
while keeping with the soft coloring. The oval nail look works well on just about everyone, especially those who want a stylish nail but need to still have functional fingers.
